If you are already at monoprice then you probably know these are great priced cables. I bought a mixture of 20 cables including 1 foots, 5 foots and 10 foots all for the same price that a single 10 foot would have cost me at Future Shop in Canada. Or any retailer for that matter in Canada.

PROS: Price!! Work perfectly with NetGear Gigabit switch I got to choose 9 different colours

Great.. It's a blessing that I found your store. I had just spent $75.00 at MicroCenter on 14 cables before I ordered from your site. I got around 100 cables of the same quality if not better quality from your store for about the same price as Microcenter charge me for 14 of them..

These were some simple 1 ft purple cat6 cables to bridge between my patch panel and switch at my home. The fact that Monoprice gives so many color options astounds me. These were beautifully priced, and I will always buy my pre-made cables, or the parts to make my own, from Monoprice. Shipped extremely fast to me.

PROS: Well made, was purple for color coding, works.

CONS: Didn't pop themselves out of the package and install themselves.

Usually a company offers only one color. Monoprice offers a rainbow. When every you have a patch panel, get some of each color to make maintenance easy. Then you can trace a patch cable with relative little effort if you have a variety of colors.

PROS: This review applies to all path cords that Monoprice supplies in multiple colors Multiple colors make the tracing of patch cords easy.

CONS: Orange and red look very similar, at least for some men. Beware than 10% of males have color blindness.

What can I say. They're Cat6 cables. They're wired to B-spec. They work fine at gigabit speed.

I bought a set of purple ranging from 6" to 10' first to measure out my patches, then labeled them with their length. This made it super easy to place my full patching order (over 50 cables) with confidence that I was getting the proper length.

The boot is a little stiff when try to unlatch the cable, but you get a feel for it, so to speak.

PROS: These cables work fine, the natural curve of the cable is easy to work with and the stress-relief boot is sturdy.

CONS: The packaging on these things is super annoying. If you've bought more than a handful, expect to be sitting there for a while unpacking them. Each cable comes in a bag and has 2 twist ties, every 10 cables come in another bag. I wish there was a true bulk packaging option. It takes way more time than necessary to get these ready for use.
